God’s Peace Rules Over Our Storms - Love Worth Finding - June 9
June 9, 2023 – God’s Peace Rules Over Our Storms
Sermon: 1435 Peace in the Midst of Your Storm, Part 1
Pray Over This
“Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, ‘Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?’”
Ponder This
Don’t get the idea that if you’re in the will of God, you’ll not have any storms. The disciples were in the will of God, and they went right into a storm. Jesus knew a storm was brewing. He was the One who could walk on the water. He was the One who could say to the waves, “Peace, be still” (v. 39), and they would listen. The Bible says, He knew all things. He knew there would be a storm, and knowing that, Jesus led them into a storm. There’s a false teaching that says, “If we’re just right with God, we won’t have any problems, and we won’t have any storms in our lives.” There are two things wrong with that. Number one, it’s not true. Number two, it’s not biblical. You’re going to have storms.
Regardless of the storm you face, God is over all. “Even the wind and sea obey Him” (Mark 4:41). In all things, God is in control. If you’re in a storm right now, God is over it, beyond it, through it, above it, and in it. He is the providential God.
- What are some storms you have faced in life? How did they affect your relationship with God?
- What are some present storms you are facing? What are you learning through them?
Practice This
Take some time to praise and worship God for the way He is present in the storms of life.
